What a Day!!

This is the scud that someone reported as a tornado on the ground. Notice the Hail shaft to the left of the scud.

You can see the funnel (nice wedge shape) behind the trees. I moved further north and thats when I was over took by rain.

Wall cloud in Limestone County

Another funnel with a nice lightning shot from screen capture.

Nice Supercell in Morgan county

While there where tons of Tornado warnings across the valley tonight. Some where verified others were not as of yet. The most significant damage seems to be in Dekalb County near the town of Geraldine. Severe Studios Associate Chaser Brett Adair was in the area reporting significant damage there. Here closer to home I captured a wall cloud, hail shaft and a tornado in Limestone County. The Tornado was in an open field and lifted as soon as it crossed behind me. In the small video clip you can see some small debris(and at the 1:15 mark you here some hit the windshield)blowing across the rod then I get overtook by rain as it approached. Not much in the way off good video since it was to my left and behind me and rain wrapped as well. All in all a very messed up day tons of rain with each cell made it hard to chase anything. video
